We are living the consequences of not regulating the internet & social medis

After WWII, Americans clearly understood the dangers of fascism and the Fairness Doctrine was created as a response.

Fast forward a few decades and the Fairness Doctrine was repealed by political partisans.

After that, when the internet and social media came into being, special interests blocked any meaningful regulation.

And now here we are, drowning in a cesspool of racism, misogyny and fascism, with a dictator wannabe soon to be in the White House, with who really knows, actually running our country.

We have forgotten that evil never takes a holiday and we must be ever vigilant.

America has a serious misogyny problem

Merely listening to the newly elected president and vice president more than proves the point.

We have very far to go.

Once upon a time, there was the largest psy-op and political plot the world had ever known

It largely flew under the radar. Many unwittingly supported the plot, snd some did so knowingly; and as a result, a once great nation was forever changed.

Shady Vance is as oily as it gets!

He lies as much as his running mate!

We're only about 30 minutes into the debate and Trump is already losing it

Trump looks liked he’s been medicated. Even so, he’s already raving like a lunatic.

I'm guessing if Kamala has a rally in Philadelphia tomorrow evening

Shapiro will be her vp choice. It just makes sense to me, at least.

We are so fortunate to have such a deep bench of very qualified candidates. I really like every single one of them and to a man, they would be an outstanding vp candidate.

It takes an enormous amount of fundraising to run a senate or congressional campaign

It appears some of the entitled big money donors are getting a little cranky and pulling more than a few strings.

In a Democracy, it’s the people who vote and decide who leads us. Not someone giving orders from on high.

It will take all Democrats, focused and fighting together, to overcome Republican malfeasance and beat Trump.

There’s not a moment to lose
